"I would recommend using AMD system monitor for Temps. With the AMD tool, the headroom is shown, and it decreases as the CPU heats. " Thanks I'll take a look

For now I settled on manual voltage @ 1.275, "AMD Turbo Core" set to enabled, giving me 19x>20x clock range, and the DDR3 RAM set to the highest settings stored in the SPD table - 667MHz (it defaulted to 533MHz) - does this make any difference? The clock speed is higher but the actual memory...

Yes, I started from "load BIOS defaults". I re-did the paste about 6 months ago. The heatsink and fan are relatively free of dirt and dust. I guess it's possible the paste maybe cracked or otherwise may benefit from another try at it, but when it runs hot the side of the heatsink gets very...

My budget system overheats while encoding videos when left on default BIOS settings. I've looked in HWmonitor, voltage seem to be 1.35 idle, 1.275 under load, but still, within 5 minutes it's approaching 80 degrees When I modify the BIOS to manual CPU voltage of 1.275 I get 1.265 at idle, 1.20...

Perhaps connect the drive to a Linux box (or boot a "Live" Linux CD)and see if linux can read it.

Thanks for your response. The most I've ever seen on mine is 10 or 11 connections. I'm in an apartment, with units to the side and on top (one extra level only), only parking below, so I've potentially got 8-10 units in the immediate vicinity. Even when I do the site survey from the routers...

I'm in an apartment with quite an active wifi community, here's what it looks like tonight as seen from my desktop client: Sometimes, it's even busier. I'm on channel 1 @ 100%. Here's the signal strength: The problem is, I get 2-3 % transmit retries from the client to the router, a...

Try AVStoDVD. You can set it up to use HCenc, a great, fast encoder. http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/AVStoDVD-Download-76901.html Not all the time in the dvd creation is the video encoding; the authoring stage can take a while, as well as the audio encode and conversion.

Hello - I have a more modest system than yourself - 8600GT / AMD64 4200 x2. I've a Paul McCartney 1080p music video. It's MKV/AVC/ac-3. When I play it in WMP 10, I get 40-50% cpu utilization, using the coreAVC codec, as mentioned above. Not sure if it's using HW acceleration or not. PS I...
